black into L2 at switch.I have the same but what should be connected to light switch
Yeah snapped off light fittingblack into L2 at switch.
Those earth wires should be sleeved with green & yellow sleeving. now some nitty gritty: I see no earth wire, does your new light have the double insulated symbol - 2 square boxes?

Not sure what you meanDid you connect the wiring into the connector block in your pic ? If so ,you have probably mixed up the neutrals with the switched live
I followed as per diagram at start of threadDid you connect the wiring into the connector block in your pic ? If so ,you have probably mixed up the neutrals with the switched live
All red Live are in one connector and Blacks are 2 in to blue Neutral and 1 black to in to brown liveYou showed us a picture of red ,black ,and unsleeved copper wires in a connector block. Did you make those connections into the connector blocks terminals ? If you did,you have done it wrong and connected the switched live to a neutral
